“the safety profile is excellent: the main side effect at high doses is mild GI upset — nausea, bloating, loose stools — which usually resolves with time or dose reduction.”
Inositol has an excellent safety profile; the main side effect at high doses is mild GI upset — nausea, bloating, and loose stools — which usually resolves with time or dose reduction.
The claim about inositol's safety profile and GI side effects is consistent with the general characterization found in inositol-focused reviews in this literature set, particularly PMID 34638926 ('Ino…

“I'm careful not to position it as a replacement for established treatments, particularly for conditions like OCD where the evidence for CBT and SSRIs is very strong.”
Inositol should not be positioned as a replacement for established treatments, particularly for OCD where evidence for CBT and SSRIs is very strong.
None of the 10 provided studies directly address inositol's efficacy for OCD or compare it against CBT and SSRIs for that indication. The research provided focuses predominantly on PCOS, fertility, ge…
